[Seventy-five] The first dandy in the Song Dynasty

As the saying goes, the sky and the earth are big, and the common people are fed the most.

On the basis of being able to eat enough, it would be even better to be able to eat meat. The appearance of Zhao Jue has enabled the people in Huanzhou to live a well-off life.

Life is no longer so tight, people have smiles on their faces, and there are no ones urging them to pay taxes, taking away the food they have worked so hard to grow, but they can’t fill their stomachs, what kind of world is this? ah.

Huanzhou is not as good as Bianliang, and it belongs to the border area. The economy is far inferior to Bianliang. However, since Zhao Jue came here, he has vigorously promoted sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, and the lack of food and drink here has improved.

Many people can fill their stomachs and have surplus food. The original family, even in the harvest season, still tightened their belts and saved a little bit.

In half a year, many factories were set up in Huanzhou, and while the fortress was being built, cement roads were also being built there.

When the cement road was first built, the common people were not allowed to step on it, and they made detours one by one, and there were many complaints, but after the cement road was dry, the situation was different. Everyone liked this flat road. I am not afraid of splashing mud all over my body.

It's just that because the cement is manually mixed, the speed of road construction is not fast, and more than half of it can be built in half a year.

"It's snowing again." Zhao Jue looked out through the window at the white world.

"Yeah, it must be very cold outside." Pang Yu thanked himself for having been to a friend's house in the north, and for having seen others build a kang head. "Fortunately, every household had a kang built before."

It’s not the same as in the fortress. It’s not a kang, but geothermal heat. Even the walls are hot. The soldiers don’t need to stand outside to suffer from the cold. They can do it inside the fortress. The telescope, the enemy's situation thousands of miles away, can be found with a little attention, but the line of sight is poor at night, so within the visible range, shrubs and other trees that can cover are not allowed.

The Qiang people like to come here to exchange things, as long as they are not important materials, they can generally be exchanged.

In fact, in Pang Yu's eyes, the territory of the Qiang people, and even beyond, are also places for flower growers. It's just that the Song people are relatively weak, and they don't increase their force value. The general who ordered him was killed by his own people. If he wants to die, who can he blame?

Zhao Jue is also very ambitious. He actually wants to expand the scope of his Great Song Dynasty, just like the previous Tang Dynasty, with strong soldiers and strong horses.

It's not like now, the horse is pinched by foreigners, and it costs a lot of money to buy it.

But ever since Zhao Jue was able to exchange horses, he didn't spend any more money to buy them. Think him stupid?

He has this spare time, so he can't copy more books, but he can also exchange for more horses. Horses can regenerate into ponies, and reproduce infinitely, okay? Who wants to find those who sell horses, just like uncles.

In fact, Zhao Jue knew that looking at those fellows from neighboring countries was like looking at their own pockets.

Isn't it just a money bag? When you need a horse, you have to beg them to buy it.

I feel aggrieved just thinking about it!

He has been unrestrained and unrestrained all his life, when did he live so aggrieved?

"What are you thinking about?" When Pang Yu came to the window, he saw Zhao Jue staring out the window with a dull expression, as if he had nothing to love.

If you want to say that Zhao Jue is lazy, he can't stay at home, he is a contradictory person.

"It's snowing outside, so I can't go out to play." Zhao Jue said lying on the window.

"Then let's make candied haws." Pang Yu thought, making Zhao Jiu in a daze is not a problem.

"Candied haws?" Zhao Jue asked, looking at Pang Yu with his head tilted.

"Yes, the medical center brought in a batch of hawthorns and prepared to dry them for later use. I saw them and asked them to keep some of them for you to cook." Pang Yu nodded. I liked to eat candied haws before the age of [-]. At that time, I was not too happy to get a bunch of candied haws. I no longer feel this way when I grow up. I just want to say that when I was young, I was relatively simple, and it was very easy to be happy.

"Hawthorn? Isn't that a very sour fruit?" Of course Zhao Jue knew about hawthorn, but he only remembered that the taste was not very good, it was too sour, and his teeth fell apart.

"That's why I need to add something else. I melted the sugar. It tastes good with the hawthorn. You can try it." How could Pang Yu feed Zhao Jiu directly with the hawthorn? Although Zhao Jiu's expression would be very interesting, but he Is that the kind of naughty person?

"Candied haws, sounds good, do it quickly." Zhao Jue became interested after hearing Pang Yu's description, and said urgently.

"Okay, let's do it now, but you can't eat too much candied haws." Pang Yu had no choice but to look like a child at such an old age.

"I know, I know, let's go." Zhao Jue pushed Pang Yu's back. He was obviously younger than him, but he was so much taller. It was simply too much!

Pang Yu had someone make long sticks long ago, but they were actually leftovers from making skewers earlier, no, they just happened to be used to make candied haws.

It doesn't matter to him to wear hawthorn, the cook in the fortress has already done it, washed it clean, and even picked out the core of the hawthorn, so that their princes might bite their teeth if they eat it.

With Zhao Jue's status, he has grown so big that he has never picked the fishbone by himself. Of course, the cook removed it before eating it. How can they let their princes eat the fishbone? It is simply dereliction of duty!

Pang Yu was at the hot candy, while Zhao Jue squatted on the sidelines to watch, mainly curious about what the candied haws were. After all, he had also eaten that hawthorn. After eating too much earlier, he would stuff a few hawthorns to help digestion.

I saw that Pang Yu poured the melted sugar on the hawthorn, rolled it again, the syrup wrapped the hawthorn, exuding an attractive color, the golden syrup paired with the red hawthorn, not to mention how beautiful it is, The sweet taste made Zhao Jue swallow subconsciously.

"Try it." Pang Yu smiled and handed the candied haws to Zhao Jue. The other party was not polite, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. The skin of the candied haws was crispy, and the sweet taste was amazing!

"Delicious!" Zhao Jue said cheerfully, his eyes lit up, and his face seemed to light up.

"It's fine if you like it." Pang Yu said, he could order something in his hands without stopping. Since he has done it, of course he should make more. Zhao Jue can eat two skewers, and it's not good to eat too much. , two strings are enough, and the other candied haws will be distributed to the children in the fortress.

In the past six months, they picked up quite a few children, some of whom lost their parents, and some whose families could not afford to support them. Zhao Jue asked people to bring these children back, wash them clean, and put on new clothes.

There are more than a dozen children in the fortress now, more girls than boys, but it's true, in ancient times, boys had to establish a family, so naturally no one would be willing to throw them away.

Pang Yu asked people to teach these children martial arts. As long as he is still alive and Zhao Jiu is still alive, these dolls will not have low achievements in the future. Pang Yu just advocates to improve the status of women. oppression of women.

As a modern person, Pang Yu feels that Zhao Jiu and his thoughts are on the same channel. Zhao Jue also believes that women are no worse than men, and that a couple is the source of the beauty of the world. , not those three wives and four concubines.

For example, his brother is a negative teaching material. After marrying so many, his son only kept one. It is his credit, and the rest are two princesses. As for the others, there is no fart. What's the use of marrying too many wives?Just squeezed it dry, and died early, like his elder brother and his wife, he had three sons, and more than a dozen grandchildren. It’s a pity that he still eats well, and he can still hold grandchildren at home. His three are useless My son, if you can't give birth to a daughter, what's the use of it.

It's true that a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry. His brother worked so hard to have a son, but in the end he didn't even grow a single hair.

Oh, I almost forgot that his starling also wanted a daughter, and every time he gave birth to a son, he was full of despair.

Anyway, Zhao Jue didn't think his starling would be able to do what he wanted, after all, he had always been fascinated by asking for nothing, and in his dream, he didn't see that his starling had a daughter, so let's go to sleep.

Even Pang Yu sympathized with the Eighth Prince. With such efforts, why, in history, it seems that the Eighth Prince did not have a daughter?

Thinking back when he was watching Bao Qingtian's TV series, he especially liked the handsome Eighth Prince. As a result, once he traveled through time, he became Pang Yu whom he despised.

But fortunately, he found his life partner, and got married in a fair and aboveboard manner, which he never dared to think about in his previous life.

Because of his different ideas, he has never dared to find his own happiness. The modern fast-food style of getting along with him is not suitable for him, and he likes people like himself, which is not acceptable to most people.

He didn't want to trick a girl into getting married. If he really did that, it would be too despicable. There is nothing wrong with being single. In addition, when his grandfather passed away, his parents treated him like a transparent person, far worse than after his parents remarried. He was also happy and relaxed when he gave birth to a child.

If it is a normal family, how can there be a good life? They have been urged to marry by fancy. When he was still working in the company, he had seen his colleagues being urged to marry in various ways. Promise to go on various blind dates, find a pleasing girl to marry directly, talk about friends, hold small hands, those who don't exist, just get married directly!He was stunned by the speed, so it's okay?

Even if he married Zhao Jue, it was because the two had a certain amount of emotional foundation, so he agreed. If he really wanted to marry someone he didn't know, it would be scary to think about it. In ancient times, blind marriages, dumb marriages, Time is also harmful.

Of course, like an aristocratic family choosing a son-in-law for its own little lady, it is not only based on family background, but also on character and so on. It is not completely blind marriage, let alone let young people meet in private and chat Get married when you come, and say goodbye as soon as possible if you can't talk.
